Self-Love, Relationships and Failure with Liam Mogada

Welcome to my first-ever episode of Recorded Conversations. I am so happy you are here & joining me to get an insight into the different people I have conversations with.

I wanted to start this podcast because I always thought to myself when chatting with people - I wish I had recorded this. 

You know that feeling you get when you get deep, feel connected to someone & want to be around that person more? That is what I am trying to achieve with each conversation. 

It’s a raw, unstructured conversation and the beauty for me is that I have no idea where it will take me. The intention is always to hold space, remain curious & hear each person’s story. 

In this first episode, I have a conversation with my incredible husband Liam Mogada. At the time of recording back in September 2023, we had just got married & came back from our honeymoon. 

I wanted to interview him and have him as my first guest because I find him very fascinating. I love how he thinks, I love the work that he has done in himself & I find his story very beautiful. 

Liam runs his own online marketing business for creatives called Empathy Marketing. 

We have been together for 6 years & married 7 months now. It’s been the most fulfilling and nourishing relationship I have ever been in and it was so special getting to document our relationship at this time of our life. 

In this episode, we talk about 

• His journey to finding himself after years of being criticized for his creativity 

• How we met, the early stages of our relationship & how that led us to get married 6 years later

• How he started his business, failed & rebuilt himself for success 

I hope you enjoy hearing his story & the different turns it takes.

Recorded Conversations with Esther Mogada

After 10 years in the making, I’m finally launching my very own podcast called Recorded Conversations.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep passion for having conversations with people & hearing about their lives. I was always that person at a house party having a deep conversation with one person, rather than being in a big group dynamic.

I’ve always been so curious about how people have gone through hard things, or how they have navigated their journey through life. I was always trying to see myself in their story.

Over the years I have interviewed SO many people from all walks of life. It’s truly what I love doing & I’m grateful that I do get to tell stories for a living.

I really wanted to start a podcast but almost felt embarrassed because I was afraid.
I was afraid of showing who I really am & what I actually think.
I was afraid that my production wasn’t high quality enough.
I was afraid of really being seen and putting myself out there.

But then realizing, I can’t stop thinking about doing it & it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do.

I actually started this journey 10 years ago where I would set up my laptop webcam, interview friends & just ask them questions about their lives.

The quality was terrible.
I had no structure to the conversation.
But I genuinely did it for the love of it & nothing else.
Now 10 years later, I’m coming back to that love and really leaning into that passion.

This podcast is simply conversations with people that I find interesting & inspiring. It’s a stripped-back version of what I usually do and it’s a raw form of thinking out loud, laughing, processing life & having great conversations with incredible people.

I’m so excited to share the INCREDIBLE conversations I’ve had with people & it’s my hope that I can be consistent this year with this podcast!

Stay tuned 🙏🏾
